First and foremost, man, I dislike coloring sometimes. This was one I got annoyed looking at and sorta gave up on instead. This is what you get.

Brass, dirt, and ash were kicked up by the boots of the men of third platoon as they went through the streets of New Carlsburg, on Earth's sister world Arcadia. Windows boarded up, the once clean jet-black streets now a muddies brown. Trash that was once picked up by sweeper droids now littering it. The droids long since been smashed up. Streets scorched from street fires and the once glistening windows of the cities dirties up and stained from the smoke, or broken outright. A shell of what it once was.

At one of the alleys, the formerly white wall had been stained with blood, and corpses lined it on the ground. A few civilians were nearby, saying a prayer, or weeping by a possible beloved one.

"This is the third alley. Just a they counted 12 here." 

"What the fuck did they do?"

"Accused of fascism."

"The RF's not anywhere near this system though, what the fuck?"

Which was true; The actual fascist front: the Rinel Front, was nowhere near this planet, let alone system. It was contained to three adjacent systems. Having been taken over by the planet guard commander during the onset of rebellion, it didn't even have an agricultural/habitable planet. Just a collection of some underground cities, asteroid colonies, and mining facilities, being propped up by some growing operations set up to sustain the current pop and raiding UCR or other rebel ships for more supplies.

"Doesn't matter. If you speak out against them, you must be a fascist. That's all they see. That's all that matters."

The soldiers took a glance at the wall, as one whistled

"Fuck me, you think they just unloaded, or were bad shots?"

"Or both. Give people who don't know what they're doing weapons and they'll abuse the shit outta them. Wonder if they can even clean them."

"Maybe the war will end because their own weapons fucking detonate on them from carbon build up."

"HAH!"

The three soldiers laughed, as they passed into the alley to meet up with their lieutenant.

"Where were you?" A woman said, looking up and over to the three as the soldiers walked by on their patrol

"Where were we??? Uh, fucking trying to clear out the reds from 5th Avenue lady. We've been doing nothing BUT fighting them." The specialist called back.

"Yet they still killed my son!"

"Well then where the fuck were you calling these fucking people out when they were rioting all those months ago! Where the fuck were you standing up and trying to stop it?? Oh wait, you didn't you just voted in another fucking mayor who supported this shit. Now We're cleaning up your mess, and now your son is dead." 

The woman, taken aback, blinked, before breaking down again over the corpse of the child before her

"Fucking hell man. These people allow this shit to happen and then wonder why the hell it happened afterwards. . ."

Their lieutenant took a drink from his camel-back a bit ahead, as the staff-sergeant spoke to one of the civilians, who'd armed himself with a rifle, and a flak vest

"You know I'm supposed to disarm you, right?"

"Come take it then." the militiaman frowned staring at the soldier "Because I'm the only one that stopped them from having a second pile of bodies here."

"Wouldn't dream of it. Just letting you know." The staff sergeant grunted. "At this point if you're killing reds, that's good enough for me."

When the UCR started collapsing, early on it saw nearly every colony other than the Earth system break out into widespread riots and small scale revolutions. Territory was lost quickly as police and military forces couldn't contain them. Territory was lost in droves. Mostly through communist and anarchistic revolutions. However, they evolved as the first colony to break away was Fonshu. On April 28th, 2771 the makeshift revolutionary government announced it's separation of the UCR.

Where communism and anarchy started the rebellions, other factions quickly took center stage, local colonial governments on their own accord even deciding to rebel. However, the new factions tolerated the actions of the communists and anarchists less and less. The reds and blacks constantly beat, killed, and looted, undermining many who wanted to separate but keep a semplence of order. Patriot militias took center stage. In some areas, there were no police, and the patriots as they called themselves began a campaign of vicious murders on any who waved the flags, retribution for countless murdered. The Fascist Rinel Front came into existence because the communists and anarchists almost completely invited it. Their lawlessness and heavy hand to any who opposed made the population so willing to accept freedom from one evil order that they welcomed another.

By 2773, the Reds and Blacks had lost nearly all of their holdings, or had been ousted and arrested by the revolutionary governments they had set up. The people were tired of them. But they weren't tired of the idea of breaking away from the failing UCR.

For decades, the UCR had been declining. It saw some improvement after the first colonial rebellion, instituting policy changes that would rebuild so many colonies damaged in the war. The problem was that time corrodes all things. And once again, the politicians of the UCR had seemingly forgotten their own history of what caused the events of the first rebellion. History often repeats itself in horrible ways.

Fascism comes in all forms. It comes from totalitarianism, be it far left or far right. Fascism and communism are near interchangable. One higher authority demanding upon it's masses what to say and think. WHat do do and act. They kill millions, be it a great famine, the holodomor, or holocaust. Slave labour and concentration camps exist and are tolerated.

They should both be denounced by everyone and not tolerated, but so many close their eyes to the ones waving a sickle and hammer today. Nobody has learned anything from all of the past governments. History repeats as it always will
